- The Deep State ran a couple of coups that ousted democratically elected governments in Ukraine and installed extreme anti Russian governments.
- Those governments did things like incorporate out and open Nazis into the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as banning Russian which half the country speaks, as an official language.
- When the ethnically Russian portions of eastern Ukraine objected to all of this and demanded autonomy from the dictates of Kiev, the Kiev government attacked them. It was forced to agree to grant autonomy to them in the Minsk agreement but then immediately ignored what it had agreed to and kept right on attacking them for years. They killed about 14,000 people in the process.
- Ukraine is not a democracy. Political opponents are jailed. Opposition media is banned. Ukraine is also one of the most corrupt countries on earth.
- Russia has been winning the war from the start. Russia was always going to win the war.
- the western sanctions on Russia have hurt Western countries which need Russian commodities, far more than they've hurt Russia.
- the $40 billion+ of US taxpayer money the US government gave to Ukraine was mostly a payoff for Deep State/Democrat party supporters.
- This whole thing...the Deep State meddling in Ukraine starting about 20 years ago and all that has happened since was one of the stupidest possible foreign policy decisions the incompetent morons in the Deep State have ever undertaken. Aside from wasting a lot of US taxpayer money and harming Western economies and getting a lot of Ukrainians killed, they've also managed to push Russia right into China's arms. China is the real enemy for those keeping score at home. China used to be very vulnerable to a naval blockade of its fuel imports from the Middle East. Now, Russian oil and natural gas and grain and fertilizer and lots of other commodities will primarily supply China. Now the US Navy will not be able to blockade that flow of resources like they could have before.
This has been an utter and complete disaster for America any way you slice it.
That's the unpalatable truth.
Do I even need to add that the theft of the 2020 election was due in large part to the Deep State's certainty that Trump would not go along with their longstanding plan for an anti Russia war in Ukraine or have you figured that out already?
